Dini's Theorem


Dini's theorem is a result in real analysis relating pointwise convergence of sequences of functions to uniform convergence on a closed interval.

For an increasing sequence F={f_n} of continuous functions on an interval I=[a,b] which converges pointwise on I to a continuous function f on I, Dini's theorem states that F converges to f uniformly on I.
